A spirit of inclusion
Cyrielle Brunet explains: “The idea is to introduce and show that the practice is open to everyone, for those who are able-bodied as well as for those who are disabled.” The club, which offers around thirty different activities, is an institution in the neighborhood. It aims to be a place of social diversity and inclusion.
The club is planning new activities for seniors and sedentary people: sophrology/fitness, contemporary dance/tai chi and joint mobility. “The sport we offer is not just for young athletes” , reminds the director. For the open day, come in uniform “simple and practical” .
Saturday June 29, 2024, from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., 31, rue Louis-Robillard. For more information: by phone at 02 31 82 33 49 or by email at [email protected].
